brown did it in 2010. he voted for the blunt amendment this year and that became a big issue because -- so you even had candidates like scott brown and tommy thompson who could not be the strong candidates they should have been, and that has everything to do with the direction the republican party chose to go. >> here is the thing i think is -- i totally agree with all of that. and this is the thing i don't understand. this is not the first election cycle in which we have seen this dynamic at work. they had a dress rehearsal of how this was going to go in 2010, when they had sharron angle and christine o'donnell and lost all of those senate seats they should have won. why wasn't there any sort of effect on the republican -- the internal processes in the republican party, that made them not want to make that mistake again? >> they won 60-something house seats, all these governorships, all these state legislatures, they were able to re-draw congressional maps, they were able to do scott walker in wisconsin,

the elizabeth warren/scott brown race was pretty close by massachusetts standards. the margin in the senate race, this election, had the democrat winning by eight points, which sounds like a lot in a normal state that would be a lot. but in the presidential race, the democrat won the presidential race by a heck of a lot more than 8 points. the democrat won by 23 points. and that is a fairly normal margin by which democrats beat republicans in the state of massachusetts. so given that, scott brown losing by only eight can be considered kind of a victory. it's at least pretty close. and after that loss, that scott brown loss, and than credibly-expensive and hard-fought race, immediately thereafter, republicans wanted to talk about how to get scott brown back to washington. and now today to them it seems so close they can taste it. because although john kerry is still a senator from massachusetts, after his very high-profile role in the obama campaign and speaking gig at the democratic national convention, after that john kerry's name was put forward as one possibility

[ applause ] >> scott brown is the one i want most in the united states senate. john mccain, kelly ayotte, susan collins are the three republicans. they are pretty much the only three republicans that scott deemed not too toxic to bring to massachusetts during his campaign. now that a senate seat might open in massachusetts, guess who is doing all of the dirty work to make sure that massachusetts senate seat opens up? i know it seems nuts. i if ul will i admit that it seems nuts. it makes a heck of a lot more sense than what john mccain is saying right now. it is the only thing that makes cents given the really, really, really incessantly hollow nature of all of these attacks against saw san rice. >>> earlier this afternoon, the great and good andrea mitchell did
